Niacin (Vitamin B-3) 500 mg, No-Flush, Double Strength, 90 Veg Capsules

What is Vitamin B3 (Niacin)?

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient that the body needs to convert food into usable energy. It is part of the B vitamin complex and plays a key role in more than 200 enzymatic reactions. This water-soluble vitamin is not stored in large quantities, so it is important to obtain it regularly through diet or supplements.

The double-strength 500 mg formula we present uses inositol hexanicotinate, a special form of niacin bound to six inositol molecules. This structure allows for gradual release that minimizes the characteristic flushing that can occur with other forms of niacin. Thus, you can enjoy the benefits of vitamin B3 without discomfort.

What makes this niacin special?

What differentiates this supplement is its flush-free form and its double concentration. While many presentations offer 250 mg per capsule, here you get 500 mg in a single vegetarian capsule. Inositol hexanicotinate is a patented form that combines niacin with inositol, a compound that also supports cellular health. By not producing the flushing effect, it is ideal for those who are sensitive to common niacin (nicotinic acid).

Additionally, the capsules are vegan, gluten-free, and do not contain genetically modified organisms. The manufacturer is GMP certified, which guarantees that each batch undergoes stability, potency, and formulation tests in ISO/IEC accredited laboratories.

Benefits backed by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for niacin. These include:

• Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Niacin contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Niacin contributes to normal psychological function.
• Niacin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes.
• Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These statements are based on solid scientific evidence and help you understand how vitamin B3 can support your daily well-being. Remember that a varied and balanced diet is the basis for good health.

Forms of niacin: niacin vs niacinamide

There are two main forms of vitamin B3 in supplements: niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (nicotinamide). Niacin is known to cause temporary flushing due to vasodilation, while niacinamide does not produce this effect. However, niacinamide does not have the same effects on blood lipids as niacin.

Inositol hexanicotinate is a third form that combines niacin molecules with inositol. It is considered an intermediate option: it offers the potential benefits of niacin without the flush, although bioavailability may be different. It is important to choose the form that best suits your needs and tolerance.

Recommended dosage and use

The recommended daily dose of niacin for adults is 16 mg per day for men and 14 mg for women. However, in supplementation contexts, higher doses are used under professional supervision. This product provides 500 mg per capsule, a double dose that may be suitable for people with higher requirements, always in consultation with a healthcare professional.

It is recommended to take one capsule daily with a meal. Do not exceed the indicated dose. Niacin in high doses can cause skin flushing, although this formula is designed to minimize it. If you experience discomfort, reduce the dose or consult your doctor.

Possible side effects and warnings

Although niacin is generally safe, high doses can cause flushing, itching, or stomach discomfort. Inositol hexanicotinate significantly reduces flushing, but does not eliminate it completely in all people. If you have liver problems, gout, or peptic ulcer, consult a professional before taking this supplement.

This product should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of small children. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, speak with your doctor before starting any supplementation.
